What a day. Yesterday (Friday, Nov. 13) a bear tore the door off the duck house that was holding the bunnies. They are OK. And today (Saturday) a fair sized two-year-old male deer was hit by a car and died on my front lawn.
Did you know that even if you are a little old lady who doesn't own a vehicle and doesn't drive, according to the conservation service, it is your problem to dispose of it. According to the RCMP, if there is no human injured or dead, it is not their problem. According to the emergency SPCA, if the animal is dead, it is not their problem. It is only their problem if they are injured. According to the Capilano Highways Department, unless it was a hit and run on their road and abandoned, it is not their problem. What kind of nonsense is this to have to go through for each person who has this happen? What a waste of our taxes to have all these officials having to tell everyone they don't know what to tell them. Luckily two good friends came and took the critter away before the bear came back to make stew on my lawn. Between the bears, the raccoons, the deer, and the cougar, I have enough problems. Could anyone suggest more efficient ways to handle these situations.
